Remembering who we are and who we were.

I ain’t never seen no African with long hair like that. He looks like a true Indian. Later to be called negro and black. Then they start calling the pretendians the real Indians. Now the pretendians have our identity. Not sorry to say you and your fathers have inherited lies and things of no value. We know we not from Africa. That’s how they stole our lands. The gig is up. WE WANT OUR LANDS RETURNED TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS. THIS IS MY DECLARATION THIS DAY. APTMH.

Thaks for introducing me to Joseph Winters, Snitch. I'll think about him the next time I see a firetruck.

Despite the fact that there are many Black firefighters, there is a lot of racism in the career field (as in others). It's good that he was publicly recognized but most Black inventors go unnoticed or underappreciated.

The sarcasm in me says: "To thank him for his contributions to firefighting, Black folks were hosed down during the Civil Rights Movement." That's how my oppressed Black mind works. Sorry.

We are amazing ppl. I saw that young picture of him and thought that was Jackie Jacson from Jackson 5.
All these smart Blackmen and women. What happened to us. Did drugs keep us from developing our inheritance? Easy fast money with no substance is a dream killer.

I believe that younger version of him is an actor/model for enactment purposes. Otherwise his 'fro would probably look more like Don King's & Frederick Douglass'. I wish more Black people would have said no to alcohol & drugs, but there are such persons as functional junkies.

ONCE AGAIN I'M IMPRESSED WITH THIS LATEST FEATURE MAINLY BECAUSE I HADN'T HEARD OF HIM UNTIL SNITCH POSTED IT.
I THINK I'M GONNA FIND SOME TIME THIS MONTH TO FURTHER STUDY JOSEPH WINTERS BACKGROUND.
